Description
This AL-KO chainsaw recoil starter is an aftermarket pull-start assembly for selected 38cc and 42cc-type petrol chainsaws using the matching starter housing and engine engagement configuration.
The same starter family is associated with selected Talon AC31A-series chainsaws. The documented Talon / Husqvarna parts cross-reference is 522183101, identifying the Super Start starter assembly.
The replacement provides the pull-start mechanism used to rotate the engine during starting.
Compatible Applications
- AL-KO 38cc-type chainsaws – matching starter housing configuration

Product Details
- Product type: manual recoil starter assembly
- Orange starter housing
- Internal starter pulley and recoil mechanism
- Pull cord
- Starter handle
- Mounting arrangement for compatible chainsaw housings
Starter Function
Pulling the starter rope rotates the starter pulley and engages the engine’s starting mechanism. The internal spring returns the cord to its original position after release.
Replacing a faulty recoil starter can address:
- Broken starter rope
- Starter rope failing to retract
- Cracked starter housing
- Damaged starter pulley
- Failed recoil spring
- Starter slipping or failing to engage
Important Compatibility Checks
Chainsaws with similar engine capacities can have different starter housings, mounting-hole patterns and engagement mechanisms.
Engine displacement alone does not confirm fitment.
Compare the original starter’s mounting points, housing shape, pulley design and engine engagement system before ordering.
The AL-KO BKS series also includes different starter configurations and should not be assumed compatible without checking the original assembly.
Installation Recommendations
Inspect the flywheel-side starter engagement mechanism for wear or damage.
Install the replacement using the appropriate mounting fasteners and ensure the housing sits correctly against the engine.
Pull the starter rope slowly several times to confirm smooth engagement and full retraction before attempting to start the chainsaw.
This is an aftermarket replacement starter, not a genuine AL-KO, Talon or Husqvarna OEM product.
